Off-the-shoulder looks ruled the VMAs, and we're all about that

In VMA history, the red carpet has seen some out there looks. But this year, the fashion was on point, more subtle, and a bit more high-brow. Celebs brought us all the trends, from pregnancy fashions to dresses that were all about sheer. Yet it’s no denying that the “off-the-shoulder” style was a strong contender for a serious trend alert at the ceremony.

Last night was all about “showing a little ‘der” (that’s what I call shoulders now).

This trend is not new. With roots in all kinds of ancient cultures, from Greek to Egyptian, (look at any statue or painting from those eras) the style has major history. Personally, it reminds us of Lucille Ball’s iconic grape-crushing moment on I Love Lucy, and honestly, we love Lucy. Yet from frocks to tops, this style was all over the VMAs and couldn’t be more current.
